Jetstar is saving us from those awkward dry family chats with some crack-up lines to learn on your way to wherever you're traveling around the country - and thousands of fares so cheap, it’s laughable.
The airline is offering over 65,000 discounted domestic and international flights, so you won’t have to break the bank more than those extra stocking stuffers.
It’s kicking off at midnight tonight and runs until 11.59pm NZDT Sunday, December 15, so if you haven’t already sussed an Xmas gift, maybe add a bit of travel to the wishlist.
Whether you're planning a summer trip or looking ahead to next year, now’s the time to lock in a holiday.
Dates vary depending on the route you wanna take, but there are plenty of options from mid-February to mid-October 2025 for domestic, and mid-January to mid-October 2025 for international flights.
